WEDDING DANCE PLAYLIST DO’S AND DONT’S

WEDDING DANCE PLAYLIST – DO’S AND DONT’S

• PLEASING THE GUESTS

With the expectation of dancing at weddings it is important to find the right playlist that will please you and your guests. The wedding is all about the bride and groom but if the guests aren’t having a good time it changes the whole mood of a wedding. This can be avoided by putting together a playlist that has enough variety of genres and generations to reach the whole crowd.

• MUSIC DO’S

Music should be played throughout the whole reception even if its just ambient music. Have a song picked out for when your guests as they arrive, this can help set their mood for the occasion. Pick a fun song to get the quests excited for your big entrance. Pick a song for the cutting of the cake. Choose an awesome last dance song that will have everyone remembering the end of the night!

• SONG CHOICES

When assembling the playlist remember that every song doesn’t have to be about how in love you are. The words aren’t as important as the beat and how danceable it is for the guests. Choose songs that make you happy, and don’t be afraid to have a list of songs you don’t want played; you have the final say in your big day. 

• KEEP GUESTS ON THE DANCE FLOOR

To keep a good flow of the reception, songs should be played in a good order. Don’t play the top 40 hits on your list all in a row; mix the classics in there. This will get people to stay on the dance floor longer.
